Brunswick has voted. According to the official Brunswick Review poll for the 2016 election, conducted one day prior to election day, Hillary Clinton won a plurality of the popular vote with 41.4% of support from 186 respondents. Mr. Trump finished second with 30.6%, and “other,” third, with 16.1% of the vote. “Other” beat out Gary Johnson, who had 10.8%, and Jill Stein, with two votes of the total.
Only in the junior class did Mr. Trump win a plurality with 18 votes to Mrs. Clinton’s 15 out of 50 students. Our own Matt Restieri tied Paul Ryan in voting for the junior class with two votes each, leading Dan Bilzerian and Giant Meteor 2k16, each with one vote.
Notable “others” across all four classes include “Kyane” and “Kayne West,” who each earned a vote. Frank Luntz scored one, along with Syan Shaikh, Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, Vermin Supreme, Theo Epstein (praise be, praise be), and Marco Rubio, better known as Little Marco. Dan Carter, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate from Connecticut, unfortunately, did not have much of a chance, and finished with one vote overall, tying Ken Bone, Bernie Sanders, and Joe Biden. House Speaker Paul Ryan received three votes, more than Jill Stein, who’s actually running for president.
The most interesting part of this poll from a political science perspective is the fact that a traditionally conservative school - 100% male, almost entirely white and upper class - did not side with the Republican nominee. Our poll mirrors a phenomenon which has been echoed throughout the country. Mr. Trump has totally abandoned the “true conservative” coastal elites of the party in favor of the white working class. The “Brunswick” styled conservatives don’t even side with Donald on his two most prominent issues: trade and immigration. So we will see on election night: has Mr. Trump’s upending of the traditional partisan divide done him any good?
